We have our son scheduled for his scope and biopsy tomorrow morning at 8am and the doctor said to push the gluten tonight... We were thinking pizza since if he has celiac disease he won't be able to have real pizza again... :( Is that enough or is there something special I should do?

I'd say that's good enough.........pizza was the one gluten thing that ALWAYS caused a reaction....I didn't get one after my morning bagel or anything, but pizza always triggered it.......must be loaded. Additionally, ask him if he wants anything special that has gluten--a candy, cookie dough ice cream, etc.........make it his last gluten feast, I guess. Good luck with the biopsy tomorrow. I'm getting my second biopsy on the 13th to make sure the diet is working for me.....let us know how it goes.

That would probably be fine. It won't really affect the damage, since the damage that is seen in the intestines is what has happened months ago. So it isn't like it is going to show more damage just from one more night of gluten, no matter how much you feed him. Let him eat until he is full, but don't force more on him.

Good luck with the biopsy tomorrow. We'll keep you in our prayers.

God bless,

celiac3270, this might have had something to do with the acid from the tomato sauce and the dairy from the cheese. What do you think?

Thanks... The doctor went over things with me and he says that the blood tests that our ped ran 1 came back positive and it is the most sensitive and accurate of the Celiac blood tests. But the other 2 were negative??? Combined with my sons symptoms though he says he is 75% positive that he has celiac disease. He offered to do another blood tests and said that if it comes back the same way he would be 99% positive, but the base doctors won't take that as a positive diagnosis. William still has to have the biopsy for them to count it... So I said lets just do the biopsy since we will have to have it eventually... No reason I could see to put it off... Although the good news is yesterday we went all day gluten-free and he hasn't thrown up or had diarhea at all today!!! YAY! So the specialist did say that if it isn't fully celiac disease yet he would bet that he at least has a storong gluten allergy and is probably prone to get celiac disease later... So looks like our diet is going to change no matter what... A positive biopsy is the only way the base will test the rest of our familiy though...

Marianne I was thinking the same thing about the pizza causing such a reaction. I would be sure somethign like a PB and J on wheat bread would be worse. lmao! Actually I tried to give my son one for breakfast so he would eat and he didn't want it! Took like 2 bites and asked for one of our gluten-free rice snacks... LOL! So maybe this diet won't be so hard on him after all...

My oldest son who has behavior issues as his main symptom and not very many digestive complaints is the one who complains occasionally about the gluten-free diet. He is terribly sensitive to dairy though! My younger son who has TONS of symptoms and GI complaints says he doesn't even want to ever touch anything with gluten again, let alone eat it! The diet isn't so hard for them to get used to, but it helps in our house that we all need the diet. My husband is the only one not gluten-free and he usually eats what we eat when he is home. He doesn't eat gluten-free away from home, although he probably should! He won't get tested yet... :rolleyes:

Isn't it funny how kids start to avoid the foods that bother them. We should all pay better attention to what our bodies tell us. Symptoms are the bodies way of telling us there is something wrong! We need to pay attention to them.

God bless,

Mariann

I think it might have been the tomato sauce, Mariann..........although I still have symptoms, eliminating the tomato sauce has helped make the digestion process easier on my body. I'm not sure if the cheese caused a reaction......I guess that might've happened, too (intestines couldn't handle the dairy, acid, AND gluten at the same time).

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
